Game History
Super Smash Bros. was developed by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory, with Masahiro Sakurai serving as director and lead designer. The game was created as a passion project that evolved from a prototype Sakurai developed on a GameCube in the early 2000s, though the N64 version predates this. The game combined characters from Nintendo's most famous franchises into a competitive fighting game with a unique party-game appeal.
The original Super Smash Bros. was released in Japan on November 21, 1999, followed by a North American release on December 3, 1999. A European release came later in 2000. The game arrived near the end of the Nintendo 64's lifecycle but found an enthusiastic audience.
Critical reception was highly positive, with reviewers praising the game's accessibility, fun gameplay, and the novelty of seeing Nintendo characters battle each other. The game sold approximately 5 million copies worldwide, making it one of the N64's most successful titles and establishing the Super Smash Bros. franchise as a major property for Nintendo.
Today, the original N64 cartridge is historically significant to collectors for multiple reasons. It marked the beginning of the Smash Bros. franchise, which became one of Nintendo's flagship competitive gaming series. The game featured twelve playable characters, with four unlockable fighters, making character selection an exciting discovery for players at the time. Mint condition cartridges and complete-in-box versions command premium prices in the collector's market due to the game's cultural importance and relative age.
An interesting development note is that Sakurai originally created the game with a focus on fun and accessibility rather than complex fighting game mechanics, deliberately differentiating it from traditional fighting games like Street Fighter. This design philosophy became a defining characteristic of the entire franchise. Additionally, the game was notable for being released on cartridge rather than CD, which was unusual for fighting games at the time and demonstrated the N64's technical capabilities in handling fast-paced competitive gameplay.
